Jimmy Carter will be 100 years old on Oct. 1. That in itself might have been enough to stage a concert in his honor. After, no other president has hit the century mark, and so why not? Yet when the roster of D-listers, has-beens and never-weres took the stage to honor Jimmuh last Tuesday, they weren’t content with praising his unprecedented longevity. Instead, they spent a great deal of time hailing “the singularity of his achievements” and praising the ways in which he supposedly made the country better. That’s right: once again leftists exchanged fantasy for reality.
The New York Times reported Friday that a stellar lineup including the B-52’s, BeBe Winans, Angélique Kidjo, Chuck Leavell “and many others,” some of whom you may even have heard of, took the stage at Atlanta’s venerable Fox Theatre to honor the failed president.
The air was thick with undeserved praise. “You can see he had a relationship to music — look at how we gathered here together tonight. He used it as a powerful tool to bring people together.” Carter brought people together? Then why is the country so divided today? I know, I know: The Gipper and the Bad Orange Man....
The Times was less confused about the concert for Carter. “In many ways,” the Paper of Record pontificated, the concert “mirrored the scope and ambitions of the man it was celebrating: Global and idealistic in its reach, but firmly planted in Georgia, molded by religious and cultural traditions as well as the rich but complicated history of the rural South.” Uh huh. Global and idealistic and the worst president of the latter half of the twentieth century.

Carter also: 1) claimed to be so in for civil rights yet fought against school integration in Plains; 2) made a big deal of carrying his own bag as President which the “press” ate up like lapdogs and then shoved it on to the SS when out of camera range; 3) stopped serving alcohol at WH parties then would imbibe in the Oval Office (both 2 and 3 are according to his SS guard who wrote a book about how phony he was).
Unlike Johnny Depp, he appears to still have most of his original, shovel-shaped teeth... He must be mostly English:
And that's the only thing which could be called an "accomplishment".
Sorry, what? “Smartest”? Granted we’ve had (have now) some genuine morons. But top of a list that includes Jefferson, Lincoln, and T. Roosevelt?
I recall another, he authorized the STEALTH program. And could not tell anyone about that t.
Carter brought in Dr. Harold Browne from Cal Tech to run the Defense Department. Browne had this idea, which he called “smart weaponry,” that he thought would change the face of warfare. He got us in on the ground floor decades ahead of Russia and China.
His biggest achievement was delivering Iran to rabid islamists. Well done Jimmy. You will not be missed.

*****************
Carter liked to call himself a nuclear physicist which was an exaggeration but i think it’s fair to call him a nuclear engineer. He was certainly very smart as was nixon. I agree jeffy was smart too. Lincoln and TR not so much.
The best thing to come from the Carter years was Billy Beer, and it was swill.
Nixon was super smart as well.
Also crippled our intelligence gathering in other ways by insisting that we could only use A1 informants because the rest were just too unclean for the Grinning Monster.
And of course gave us the most devastating thing the Department of Communist Education which is responsible for a good 50% of the problems we have currently.
There’s still eight chances for him to not make it to 100.
I wonder if their are any Betting pools on whether him or Biden will go first ?
He lived long enough to no longer be the worst President in American history. That is saying something! I, for one, never thought that record could be broken.
